Judy Ball Poet Quatrain

Better Than Gold

I may never be wealthy,
I may never have fame,
I may never travel,
Or own my own plane.

I may never see sunsets,
In far away places,
Or meet famous people,
Or learn courtly graces;

But I have seen sunsets,
Unmatched by the others,
And the people I have met,
Are my sisters and brothers.

The wealth that I have,
Is neither silver or golden,
But one thing is sure,
It can never be stolen.


"THE RICH AND THE POOR ARE ALIKE BEFORE THE LORD WHO MADE THEM ALL."
                                                                                                     Proverbs 22:2

"I SPEAK NOT FROM WANT FOR I HAVE LEARNED TO BE CONTENT IN WHATSOEVER CIRCUMSTANCES I AM."
                                  Philippians 4:11
